Edit: I was looking for a zipped, rooted version of 1.47.651.1 and didn't find it, so I made one and posted it. Turns out I had just missed caulkin's post, so my post is now pretty pointless. If a mod wants to delete the thread, that is fine. I apologize for clogging things up, I was intending to provide a resource to make things easier for other people.
Here is caulkins: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712695
#######################################################
I haven't seen a rooted stock of the latest OTA ROM (1.47.651.1) so I made one. I added superuser, busy box, and left everything else the same. I'll probably add a deodexed version and stripped version soon.
odex-1.47.651.1
I'm pretty new to the Android world, but I think no one had put this up yet because it is pretty easy to do, but a pain to upload. Let me know if there are any issues, but in my testing it has been fine, market works, etc. Also, if this is out there, let me know, or delete the thread, but the only post I saw with this had a dead link.
This is just the images from whitslacks expanded into the more familiar zip package like most of the cooked roms are distributed. If you are running whitslacks this would be no different.

Here is whitslacks rooted 1.47 ROM:

Works perfectly, I haven't had any issues with it and I flashed it about 3-4 days ago.

Yes, this is actually based on whitslack's. His work may be more useful, but his is a full package that replaces everything (radio, recovery, etc), and requires another flash to root.
This is just a standard rom that can be installed via clockwork or RA and doesn't change any of the other pieces.
More than anything it may be a building block for other roms, especially once I get a deodexed version up.
Caulkin also has a rooted stock Rom as well odex and deodexed in this forum. He was the first to put it out like the day the ota was released

You are right. I looked quite a bit for this, but it didn't get a lot of posts in the last few days so it hasn't been in the top often.

Okay, I've spent quite a bit of time trying to figure this whole root thing out and I've got a pretty good handle on rooting and flashing ROM, but can't find what's the deal with odexed versus de-odexed? I imagine there's a different thread with this info and a little off topic from the original intent of this thread. If anyone has a link, I'd appreciate it.
Now that I've already done whitslacks 1.47 rooted rom, I should be fine with that, correct? What you're doing here doesn't necessarily apply if one has already done whitslacks and is happy with it?
Thanks, still learning this stuff.

I'm quite new and may have some of this wrong, but I think I'm close:
When a developer makes an application file, it is an apk. The apk is actually a zip file with information inside on how to install, name of the file, and resources used in the application, like pictures used for buttons. If the file is not odexed, then there is also a .dex file contained which has the actual program code used by the virtual machine. If a file is odexed then there is a separate file with the same name as the apk, but has the extension .odex. This is done by htc to the system files to make things (arguably) a little faster.
Dev's then deodex the files to put the odex file back into the apk as a .dex file, if this is desired. The reason for this is so that they can be changed later to do something like theming.
Yes, this is the same as whitslack's. If you wanted a de-odexed ROM you could now grab the one caulkin posted and flash it.

So, essentially caulkin's rom is deodexed, whitslacks is not? Which means, whitslacks rom is exactly like a non-rooted 1.47 ota but with root permissions, while caulkins is exactly like whitslacks, but with the ability to change some files around later.
Like I said, I'm still learning, and it appears whitslacks is sufficient for me since I don't even know what files I could manipulate with caulkins (or your) version nor how to do it even if I wanted to.
Thanks again, learning a little more every day. I've spent about 5 full days on this forum. slowly but surely, right?
Pretty cool
I'd like to start a thread for ROM tools, such as extracting the bootimg file.
There are a bunch of ROMs but not enough consolidated guides and tools for such.
You also can't find detailed relationships between APKs and their functionality, which drives me nuts.
Good idea.

Great idea. I've found
Droidexplorer and regawMOD zipsigner
Looking for the links now or u can Google it
From a galaxy far far away...
Let's set our standards and provide easy access for talented developers whom may not even have time for trial and error!
I've got some great changes I'm slowly making on top of Myn's 2.2
I'm a big fan of senseless, yet I like some of the included HTC apps.
I'm primarily looking for some IMG extractors that work in windows alongside some more reliable APK signing tools. I've played around with all this but I just don't have time like I used to.
If we can just get ROM development more organized and discuss higher quality standards (such as properly modded bootimg) in all ROMs, I'd be ecstatic.
It's sad when you have a custom ROM and a factory reset ruins much of it.
So here's what I'd like to see and am willing to contribute to:
- Ubuntu VM for Android ROM Dev
- APK Signing Tools for Windows that actually work
- bootimg extractors & packers for windows
- List of APKs and detail relationships between one another alongside functionality
We can take advantage of the Wiki for much of this such as the lists.

Specifically made for Omegasun's script. May work with other scripts. Handy none the less.
APK Manager
Allows easy editing of .apk files.
Theme Porter
Pull a theme from just about any ROM and apply to to just about any other ROM.
Some of those might be geared more towards other sections and not necessarily development, but I have found them helpful and feel the need to share them.

HAHA I fixed it. I hate when that happens
Hey everyone. I have noticed how most people are having a hard time with mods for Godmode. I Have updated quite a few mods to run on Godmode and have been pretty successful so far. In this I will be providing my method of updating mods that has been pretty successful so far. I have updated rosies and themes using this method.
Big thanks to fdb8231 for the original script.
First off what you need:
Android Signer
7zip
I also use Winrar for extracting.
My attachment below.
I assume you all know that you should install the programs you downloaded. I dont believe win rar is necessary for extraction its just what I use.
Now on to the fun parts.
First off you should have the modification either already on your machine(if your the creator) or you need to download it if you dont already have it downloaded.
Next step is creating a folder on your machine for the mod and extracting it. use either 7zip or winrar to extract the modification to the folder you created. The next step is to download the attachment below.
extract it to a folder of its own so you have it for future modifications.
copy the modified script.
next go to the extracted modification. go through the file path META-INF->com->google->android. and replace the updater script there with the one I have provided you.
next use 7zip to create a .zip archive.
finally open Android Signer drag and drop the file on the program sign it and it will create a mod that is signed and ready to flash.
Enjoy your modifications.
Thanks. Have you posted this in Themes forum also?

I believe this is only for Synergy.
and it says Mods, not ROMs. MIUI is a ROM.
This is just for roms running godmode and I can only confirm it works on rc2 synergy.

It will work with any of the current synergy godmode roms.
BTW, I'm the one who originally posted a Virus updater script for godmode mods...
Hello everyone,
This is a quick question, that I seen asked before but it several different ways.
I would like to know how to simply edit my favorite ROM's, in ways of just adding a new theme or modifying the layout.
I don't wanna get too deep into it, just the simple things like adding apps to ROM's.
Can someone help me out here?
I think a flashable zip with addons(like gapps) is a good way, or just browse the rom.zip and add things(system/app/bin/extras) before flashing it
also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33349661

I do agree with grigtm. Use OOne ROM Editor as I personally tried that and it works great.
I had some problems with OOne ROM Editor that it removed some direcotries from root of the ROM. So I made my ROM in Total Commander :laugh:.
I'd agree that the easiest way is to edit a ROM in place with some Zip program since you can effectively skip re-signing the zip. One thing to note from the RootzWiki on signing (emphasis my own):
With custom recoveries such as ClockworkMod Recovery, the recovery does not verify that the key is authorized, but just that the signature of the ZIP is valid. Most recoveries now have this option disabled by default, due to excessive user complaints: Many "popular" developers are incapable/unwilling to properly sign their ZIPs, causing the signature check to fail on such ZIPs even when they are not corrupt.

I'm not sure if this applies to current Clockwork Recovery for our phone (5.0.27), but I know it can be turned of manually if necessary.
Number two, I believe it is standard practice for most archive programs and types (including programmers API's) to automatically remove empty directories, which OOne Editor likely uses. Although, the OOne Editor is becoming popular enough that if it almost suits your needs you should probably file a bug in the OOne Editor thread.
From CM Gapps page it says
It is possible to perform a "backup" of the Google Apps on your device and then "restore" them, but this does take additional steps which are not covered here.

I'd like to know how can I do this.
I've searched all across the forum but had no luck. It looks like some kind of trade secret.
I know that it's not just a matter of pulling the apk files. Because I can see that the zip has .apk, .jars, .so, configuration and certificate files.
I'm guessing this is done by extracting the files from a system.img.
But how is this done?
Is there some script available to build a gapps zip from a system.img file?
Another thing is that my OnePlus phone doesn't has an official LP update yet (although CM12 and their gapps work fine) so I suspect this would have to be done using the stock ROM of another device, maybe a Nexus. Is this correct?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
